Troegs barrel aged troegenator

Not a typo.

 

Going after work, should get there around 4-4:30, hoping there's still some left, though it sounds like it won't be a concern!

 

Nice price! Looking forward to enjoying a couple of 4 packs.

 

So the GM of the entire brewery says there is plenty to go around, might even last for weeks or even months, and we are still wondering if it will last one night?

It will be there when you get there. Relax.

 

Ah, I missed that part of the 'sizable amount.' Cheers!

 

Anybody crack one yet? Drinking one now -- pretty good, though not getting much bourbon. Not quite what I remember from the '14, though I had that very fresh and it was way before I got bigger into craft beer. Still a damn good beer.

 

How does it taste vs. regular Troegenator?

Cheers!

 

To be honest, and to be fair I haven't had it in quite some time, but I'm not a big fan of regular Troegenator at all. I will say this though, as BBA Troegenator warms, it kinda does the opposite of most BBA beers. Most I find get better as they warm, but as this beer warms, a lot of whiskey flavors come out, and not in the best way. Tastes like someone took a shot of jack daniels and just dropped it into the beer. It's not awful, but not exactly what I'd expect. Definitely one to drink before it gets too warm.

 

This is an excellent beer. This is a REALLY excellent beer for $4ish a bottle with the case price. Count me among the people expecting a $30-35 4/pack, and at under $100 for a case of 24, the price to quality is untouchable locally, especially considering this beer is actually available without taking a day off.

Awesome job, Troegs. Can't wait to buy future releases.

 

Alright, I'll be the one to ask - why would you buy this beer if you're not a fan of the base beer?

 

These bottles are tasting really good. And the price point is killer. Thank you, Troegs.

 

my guess is he wanted to try it to see if time in the barrel made it more enjoyable to him. just a hunch though.

 

Partially what @Houser said about seeing if time in the barrel made it more enjoyable, but also I really liked the BBA Troegenator 2 years ago when I had the chance to try it, so I wasn't a complete stranger to it.

 

I'm iso this beer if anyone got ahold of more than they need. Not real sure what I have to offer as I'm only in Pittsburgh. Has hop juju made it out that way?

 

I had Hop Juju on draft this past Sunday out here. So, it's here somewhat.

 

Fat Heads does not distribute in the Hershey/Harrisburg area.

 

Yeah seems like Philly and surrounding areas I guess. Looks like they're being distributed by Penn Beer and Gretz Beer Co. Berks County is getting them so it's not too far of a drive for you guys if you're looking for it!

 

Any update on the BA Troegenator availability?
I'm thinking of making a run Saturday morning, but
don't want to waste a 3 1/2 hour round trip if it sells
out before then. I know they said they made plenty,
hoping somebody that has been there can confirm.

 

It's never a waste if you're going to Troegs. Great place.

 

@oneraindog said they wouldn't be selling out in a month, so you should be good, even if they are selling faster than planned.
Did anybody ever hear if this was 100% Bourbon Barrel Aged, or if it was a blend?
